Topological Synthesis

Topological Synthesis is a method in kinematic synthesis that determines the fundamental structure of a mechanism by defining the arrangement and connectivity of its links and joints, distinguishing it from dimensional or parametric synthesis through its focus on structural configuration independent of geometric dimensions.
